About
A developmental neuroscientist and glial biologist fascinated by how neurons and glia connect and communicate in health and disease. With expertise in molecular and cellular neuroscience and disease models, I study axon-myelin interactions while developing innovative genetic, viral, and proteomics-based tools to advance the field and bridge fundamental discovery with translational impact.
